Some of you might know that my company has been working secretly on something new, and I have an update... we now have a way to bring people together using 3D Audio. It's a lot easier to try than to explain, but the basic idea is you can get in with one click on any computer or phone, no download. You can move around in a big space where all the audio is High Fidelity (haha but very true) and in 3D. So everyone can talk together at the same time and you hear them all, or you can break off into discussion groups, or use different areas for different purposes.
You can request an alpha server at http://www.highfidelity.com. It might be a bit busy for the first few days as we setup more provisioning services. Servers support 100 people concurrent right now, and will be able to support thousands very soon. This work is part of a larger project to build a whole new huge virtual world that is accessible from any device, but COVID made us decide to release what we had working.
You can use it for things like performing live DJ/Music, events, family gathering, all-hands meetings, or whatever you can think up. The experience is very warm and connected - and very different than video conferencing.
If you want to give it a try live, message me here and if I'm around I'll invite you into my server.
